Barbecue Chicken Salad




Kavery gave me a lovely book on salad recipes. Till I realised that i was allergic to chicken, I ate it almost every night and I would always look around for good chicken recipes. This one is a superb one and you just must try it. 

Place 1 tbsp olive oil, 4 tbsps tomato sauce, 1 tbsp clear honey, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and i tsp mustard powder in a shallow bowl and mix it together. Season it with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or overnight.

Pre heat oven to 200 c. Place the chicken on a roasting tin. Spoon over any remaining marinade and roast in the oven for 40 mins until cooked through and lightly charged in places. Cool for 5 mins.

Arrange lettuce leafs,4 grated carrots, 6tbsps of sweet corn and a half thinly sliced red pepper on the serving plate. To make a dressing mix sour cream and chives in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Thickly slice each chicken breast and arrange on the salad serve with dressing.
